Quratar
Are you looking for something?
Identify
Onesta
Merchant: Lv 44
Or are you perhaps looking for a place to live?
Actually, I thought you'd be selling weapons.
I'm sorry, but this is a hardware store.
We don't carry weapons.
If you're looking for a weapon shop, there's one on the street with the knights' station.
Thanks. I'll be back to do some shopping later.
I'll be waiting for you.
She asked if we were looking for a place to live.
Is that place also a real estate agency?
Possibly. I don't know what the market is like in Quratar,
but a room can be rented for a year for 10,000 to 30,000 nars.
For 50,000 nars, you can rent a large house.
That's cheaper than staying long term at the inn.
Can anyone rent a place?
Probably, if the town is large enough.
I've heard a lot of Explorers live either here or in the Imperial City.
Huh.
But in your case, since you have access to spells, you could probably live anywhere.
Is she talking about Teleport?
I don't want people to know I can cast magic.
I should live someplace it wouldn't be strange for an Explorer to live.
We'll be fine. Leave it to me.
I'm counting on your help when the time comes.

Wand
So the maximum number of empty skill slots is different depending on the type.
They probably get more expensive the farther back you go.
I'll start with something for a beginner.
This one looks good.
You can judge the quality of implements?
Impressive, Master.
Yeah, don't worry. I don't understand it, either.
Steel Staff
Iron Staff
Wooden Staff
Wooden staves, iron staves.
They've even got steel staves.
There are so many types. I don't know how to tell them apart.
It's probably strange for an Explorer or Adventurer to purchase a staff,
so I'm hesitant to ask an employee.
I'll take the one-third odds and buy a wooden staff so I can get out of here quickly.
Quratar Outskirts
There are quiet residential neighborhoods just outside the town center.
It's not too big, but there's a shopping district, too.
It's a nice place.
Yes. I think it's a nice town.
Yeah.
Excuse me.
I asked you for directions earlier.
Welcome.
Were you able to find the weapon shop?
Yes, thanks to you.
I'm glad to hear that.
I'd like to ask you something.
Can anyone live in this town?
Yes. We'll check your Intelligence Card, but there aren't any restrictions.
My card displays my first job.
That shouldn't be a problem.
All kinds of people become Explorers.
In this town it's considered taboo to look into someone's past.
Here we oversee district six.
It's a nice place upstream.
If you'd like to acquire a residence, let me know.
District six?
This town is divided along the six roads that extend from the center of the town.
Labyrinth
Explorers Guild
Hardware Store
Knights' Station
They're numbered counterclockwise starting at district one.
This is district six.
I see.
Are you an Explorer?
Yes.
What kind of home are you looking for?
I'm not sure how to answer that.
Actually, could you tell me what kind of places are available?
As long as I can rent it for just over 40,000 nars a year,
I don't have any particular requirements.
Will it be the two of you living there?
For now, but in the future...
I see. You are an Explorer, after all.
Why'd she smirk like that?
Did she realize Roxanne is a slave?
Um...
Maybe it's because she manages a district,
but that was the face of someone who knows.
I see. You've got a nice girl here.
Would you prefer someplace near the labyrinth?
I don't have a preference.
For an Explorer looking to rent for just over 40,000,
I've got some apartments available near the labyrinth
or detached homes if you're okay with someplace farther away.
I don't mind living a little farther away.
Since you're not an Adventurer,
I presume you'd prefer a home made with shielding cement.
Shielding cement, huh?
Field Walk can't be used on walls made from shielding cement.
They're probably inconvenient for Adventurers.
I was planning to use Teleport to get around,
but I've encountered something I'm not familiar with.
It's not impossible to get around if you install a sturdy partition,
so you'll be fine, even if you become an Adventurer in the future.
Could you show us the place first?
Very well. Let me get ready.
Nice assist, Roxanne.
You can count on me.
Huh. It's pretty big.
Quratar Outskirts
Is this area the yard?
Yes.
You're welcome to use it as you like.
It's pretty neglected, though.
That's rosemary. It doesn't look too healthy.
I see. A neglected yard reduces the value of the property.
Roxanne deliberately said it doesn't look healthy.
In that case...
It'll be tough to fix considering how withered it is.
You're right.
Without anyone to take care of it, it's bound to happen.
It should be fine.
It's even possible for you to immediately begin growing other herbs.
In that case, would you be willing to share seeds with us?
If you'll tend the yard, I'd be willing to give you some.
We have hoes at the shop.
She's making us buy a hoe?
She takes every opportunity to make a profit.
One more push.
It'll probably have to be dug up once.
It'll be a lot of work.
The windows were repaired and the house was cleaned just recently.
You could start living in it right away, once you moved some furniture in.
She's not willing to make any more concessions.
Just getting free seeds is a decent haul.
The previous resident made a variety of adjustments.
Feel free to remodel the inside however you want.
They performed a lot of revisions to the flush in particular.
The waste water flows into the gutter outside when you pour water into the container on top.
Since it takes in water from the nearby river,
the gutter itself isn't particularly dirty,
but it's rather inconvenient to get water at this location.
The previous resident was attempting to build something else, too, but I stopped them.
What? There's another bathroom?
It's in the room back there.
It's only connected to the sewage outlet.
Nobody needs a toilet right next to another toilet.
Were they trying to build a laundry room?
I have some questions about the kitchen.
Go ahead. Ask me anything.
This area must be for cooking with fire.
Roxanne said she could cook. She's probably curious to know how easy it is to use.
Yes. This wall is made using fire resistant materials.
In which case, I should test it while I can.
If you'd look this way...
Roxanne, I'm going to check out the second floor.
Understood.
I can make water using magic.
But if this shielding cement stuff prevents me from using Teleport,
that'll affect the home's convenience.
[Party] • Kaga Michio • Roxanne
So this is what happens when I use it in a party.
Since Teleport affects my whole party, I should disband mine temporarily.
I'll start with the room in front.
And then check the one in the back.
This room on the second floor is the biggest one.
This would make a good bedroom.
Okay. Teleport to the adjacent room.
Come on, let me through.
Adjacent Room
It worked.
This Bonus Incantation is even more impressive than I thought.
It can go anywhere without limitations.
I can go anywhere I've seen in person before.
But it comes with some drawbacks.
If I go someplace I'm not supposed to be able to enter,
people will wonder how I got there.
I should confirm my destination either isn't being watched
or is someplace I can reach using other transport magic before I use Teleport.
How was it?
It's not a bad house.
What do you think?
The yard is a bit neglected,
and the house costs 45,000 nars annually.
It's not a bad price, either.
Fine. We'll rent this house.
Thank you. Your Intelligence Card will be checked by the knights.
Let's return to town.
I'll write up a contract for you.
This will be my and Roxanne's home.
I passed the Intelligence Card check.
We signed the contract without issue, too.
What else do we need to live in that house?
I haven't seen this shape in a while.
That's for cooking with high heat.
Huh?
We're the only shop around here that sells them,
so you may not have seen them often.
Oh, uh, but...
Excuse me.
If we pay for that pot along with our rent, you'll give us a discount, right?
Right?
Uh, yes.
Thanks for your help.
Thank you.
No, thank you. I look forward to seeing you around.
I'm glad we got a discount, Master.
Yeah, thanks to you.
It was actually my 30% off skill, but let's go with that.
We can buy the things we need tomorrow.
Miscellaneous items, yes,
but I think we should look at furniture today.
Even if we buy it tomorrow, there's no guarantee it'll be delivered tomorrow, too.
You're right. Let's go.
Yes, Master.
The furniture store employee said they'd deliver our furniture by tomorrow,
so we'd better be here by the afternoon.
It's all used stuff, but apparently they'll make a new mattress for us.
Roxanne?
What? Um...
Weren't we told this house was made with shielding cement?
I waited to decide if we'd buy this house until after checking to see if I could use that.
That's incredible, isn't it?
Don't tell anyone.
Come on, let's go back to Vale.
Yes, Master.
Is what I should be saying, but...
Vale Labyrinth, Third Floor
Since I got a new weapon, I want to test it out.
More like I've been itching to use it and can't wait any longer.
There's one.
Green Caterpillar: Lv 3
The perfect enemy.
One the second floor it took four casts of fire magic to take these out.
In other words, they should be able to withstand more on the third floor.
Fireball!
Second shot. Fireball!
Is he trying to jump on me?
Before it reaches me, I'll fire off one more.
Three shots.
Impressive, Master.
One night in a two-person room.
I'd like some hot water and a lantern, too.
Sure thing.
This is our last night at this inn.
I stayed here while desperately earning enough money to buy Roxanne.
It's the room we first entered together after I bought her.
It's also where we spent our first night together.
This place fills me with powerful emotions.
Excuse me.
Roxanne was nervous at first, but now...
Error Image cannot be displayed.
Is that the right amount of pressure?
Yes, I think so.
I see. In that case, I'll clean every last bit of you like this.
Error Image cannot be displayed.
Master...
So there isn't a micron of grime left.
Error Image cannot be displayed.
Not a picogram of dirt.
Thoroughly, carefully, and delicately.
Master.
Again and again and again.
Not my [bleep], Master.
Error Image cannot be displayed.
Roxanne? Are you all right?
Yes, I think...
...so.
Error Image cannot be displayed.
I'm sorry. I've never felt anything like this before. I...
Error Image cannot be displayed.
Roxanne, you're warm.
I feel warm, too.
Error Image cannot be displayed.
Well, I hate to say goodbye, but shall we go?
Yes.
This is the first place where you took care of me,
but you'll take care of me plenty more times in the future.
Roxanne, you're killing me.
We don't need to pick up where we left off last night right now.
Roxanne always accepts my advances.
I'm not the person I was before I made her mine.
I'm ending my extended stay today.
I've removed all my stuff.
I see. Thank you.
Thanks for having me.
If you'd told me yesterday,
I would've provided a lantern free of charge.
Just a lantern?
Okay.
Waterwall.
Is that enough?
Yes, thank you.
I'll start scrubbing now.
In that case...
I'm going to check out the Quratar labyrinth.
See you later.
Quratar Knights' Station
Entry fee for six.
That will be six silver coins.
Entry fee for five.
Can I interest you in a map of the Quratar Labyrinth?
Twenty nars per floor.
A thousand nars for a book of all floors.
These knights sure are business-minded.
Explorer
Knight
There's an Explorer here, in addition to the knights.
They have guides here, too?
Next person, please.
Entry fee for one.
That'll be one silver coin.
Quratar Labyrinth, First Floor
Its basic construction is the same as Vale's.
If there's anything different about this one,
it's that it's crowded.
Can people really farm monsters like this?
This area is away from the other parties.
Now's my only chance.
Teleport.
I'm back, Roxanne.
Going forward, we should be able to enter without paying.
Welcome back, Master.
If she were wearing a maid outfit, this would be perfect.
Did you learn that greeting at the trading house in Vale?
Yes. Was it strange?
No, it's fantastic.
Thank you.
Um, I'm dirty since I was in the middle of cleaning, so...
You'll wipe up anything that gets dirty, right?
Of course.
I've come to deliver the furniture you purchased.
How inconvenient.
I'll deliver your items to their rooms.
Is this what you wanted?
I don't want him coming all the way into the house.
It's all right.
Very well. Excuse me.
Thank you.
We'd be in trouble if anyone other than me could use Teleport.
The two of us can manage to move the furniture into each room.
That should do it.
Nice work, Master.
The mattress feels nice since it's new.
No one else is coming today, right?
I don't think so.
Then the first thing we need to do...
Error Image cannot be displayed.
Is take the bed for a test drive.
What do you think, Roxanne?
Um, certainly.
Error Image cannot be displayed.
That's not [bleep].
Sorry, Roxanne. I can't tell without a light.
That's [bleep].
Error Image cannot be displayed.
There should be a candle around here somewhere.
Where did it go?
We don't have a candlestick.
We should've bought one today.
I'm sorry.
Candles aren't cheap, so I thought we wouldn't need any.
If we don't have any, then we don't have any.
But the darkness will allow me to focus on [bleep].
Starting today, these sounds of hers are all mine.
Master, [bleep]!
Naturally, the bed felt excellent to use.
